Semua Bab Ravished By Four Insatiable Beasts: Bab 51 - Bab 60

ZORYAThe forest air was heavy with tension, my heartbeat echoing against the quiet rustle of trees. The path back from the observatory felt narrower, almost like the shadows themselves were pressing in. The Alphas,my Alphas,were around me, protective, furious, and silent in a way that made the hairs on my arms stand on end. Their presence should have reassured me, but it didn’t. Something about tonight felt… wrong.It all started the moment Kaelen’s invitation crossed my desk. That cool, precise smile, the way his eyes lingered too long,too knowingly,on me. I had brushed it off at first, chalked it up to a charming mentor. But now, walking home under the silver spill of the moonlight, my instincts screamed caution, every nerve prickling like a warning bell.I stopped abruptly, sensing it before I could even explain it. The cold edge beneath the charm, the crackling energy that didn’t belong. My wolf stirred violently, claws flexing beneath my skin. It wasn’t aggression at me,it was d

ZORYAI had been pacing the library stacks for nearly an hour, letting the scent of old parchment and ink calm my racing heart, when a soft voice broke through my thoughts.“Zorya, may I have a moment?”I looked up to see Kaelen Drayke, his posture impeccable, his suit tailored to perfection, and that unsettlingly calm smile playing on his lips. My wolf stirred, a flicker of irritation and wariness running beneath my skin. I stopped pacing, gripping the edge of a table as if it could anchor me.“Of course, Professor,” I said, trying to keep my tone even.Kaelen’s gaze lingered a second too long, scanning me as if measuring the exact trajectory of my soul. “I wanted to personally recommend you for the Lunar Council Scholarship.” His voice was smooth, almost honeyed, and my stomach twisted with unease. “You have consistently demonstrated intellect, courage, and leadership qualities that surpass many of your peers.”My pulse spiked. The Lunar Council Scholarship was prestigious—elite, un

ZORYAThe week after the gala unfolded like a fever—sweet, dizzying, and edged with teeth. Everywhere I turned, one of my Alphas was there. Not because they didn’t trust me, but because they didn’t trust the world around me. Or maybe… not because of the world at all.Maybe because of him.Classes had barely begun that morning when Ares appeared beside me, falling into step with the precision of a soldier returning to his post. His large hand brushed the small of my back in a subtle claim—gentle, but unmistakably Alpha.“You’re walking too fast,” he murmured without looking at me. “You left breakfast early.”“You were interrogating my study partner,” I pointed out.Ares didn’t deny it. His jaw ticked once. “She kept staring at you.”“She was staring at my notes,” I corrected.He looked down at me then, amber eyes burning with something between longing and exasperation. “Doesn’t matter. I’ll walk you.”He did. All the way to my classroom door, where students slowed to stare, whisper, an

ZORYAI didn’t leave Kaelen’s office the same way I entered it.Something followed me out—a ghost of heat on my wrist where his fingers had brushed, a phantom spark that shouldn’t have meant anything but somehow did. My wolf prowled inside me, anxious and unsettled, snarling at shadows.I ignored her.I shouldn’t have, but I did.All morning, I drifted through the hallways like I wasn’t fully anchored. Even the familiar scents of the University—the sharp herbs from the apothecary labs, the metallic tang of the training arena, the comforting musk from my Alphas—felt muted, dulled under the quiet storm Kaelen had stirred inside me.When I reached the courtyard, I found him waiting.Not by accident. Not today.Kaelen leaned against the old stone archway as though the campus had been designed around him. Sunlight fell across his face, illuminating sharp angles, a calm expression that felt practiced—like a mask carved from serenity.“Zorya,” he greeted, voice low, smooth, dangerous. “You l

ZORYAThe moment I stepped into my apartment, I felt it: the tension thick enough to taste. Ares, Gunner, Finn, and Kai were already there, circling each other like wolves sizing up a rival. My heart stuttered at the sight. Each of them radiated power, and right now, that power was aimed entirely at me—or rather, at the unseen intruder we were all silently aware of: Kaelen Drayke.“Zorya,” Ares started, his voice low and dangerous, “we need to talk. Now.”I swallowed, trying to steady myself. “About Kaelen?” I asked cautiously, though it felt more like a question to myself than to them.“Yes,” Gunner snapped, tossing his bag onto the couch like it contained nothing less than explosives. “That man is trouble. He’s not what he claims.”I crossed my arms, standing my ground despite the familiar rush of fear and adrenaline my wolf stirred in response to the tension. “I know he’s your problem, not mine,” I said firmly. “I can handle myself.”“Handle yourself?” Finn’s grin was sharp, teasin
